Hello everyone
I want to show my Stryker, this is not maybe my latest model, but it did not show full gallery here.
Base was a model of the AFV Club, I enriched it with Eduard PE parts (BIG ED), Legend Production's stowage set and Stryker crew form Trumpeter.
It doesn't represent a specific vehicle, but rather the 'essence' of what I've seen on different photos of Strykers.
I hope You like it.
At first some photos taken during construction:

Hi,
Very nice Stryker. At first look you can see that the brass is better.

Wojtek, thanks for sharing. This is very nice. I like the weathering. Your Stryker appears to be an early deployment time period. I am not sure they had the Rhino by then but maybe they did. I don't have that info handy. In the first couple of deployments before blast shields were used, the crews used sandbags or Kevlar rolled blankets for protection around the airguard hatches. In addition, I don't think the airguard hatches would be able to properly open w/ the duffel bags you have there at this time. Still, these are minor points.
Overall, this is a very nice Stryker and a beautiful job with the slat.

Fantastic work! I'm always afraid of a PE nightmare like that. And the weathering!

Beautiful, Wojtek!
Your etch work is very neat, that is not easy with etched slats.
